Top Merchant Street Market Hotel Reviews

The Gomerino Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very central and excellent roof terrace. Liked the interior layout. Staff were so helpful and friendly esp when I left sunglasses in a taxi - they helped me get them back. One big improvement would be to improve the coffee at breakfast - it really was poor to be served instant coffee in the flasks they bring round. Also bottled water in bedrooms please. Otherwise all good!"

66 Saint Pauls & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"A terrific boutique hotel in a great central location close to everything you want to see in Valetta. Lots of restaurants around to enjoy. The staff were amazing, very clean and quiet place plus the breakfasts were always really good. I would definitely go back again and highly recommend this hotel to others."

The Barrister

10/10 Excellent

"Room was impeccably clean, but on the small side. Free minibar items were nice to have as was the Prosecco! Free breakfast was basic but plentiful but it does get busy towards the end of service. Staff were excellent, Olga was very helpful checking us in and out even offering us drinks while we waited for the taxi to the airport. Great location in Valletta, but beware it can be loud as the local bars have loud music, which gives it a great vibe for a night out, not so great for a quiet room, music got noticeably quieter at 12.00pm on weekdays at 1.00pm at weekends."

Palazzo Rosaria Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was very centrally located. The staff was friendly and accommodating. We were extremely pleased with our stay and will definitely stay there again when we return to Malta in the future."

Palazzo Ignazio

10/10 Excellent

"Had a fantastic 4 day stay here! Location is so close to everything in central Valletta but on a quiet street. Hotel Manager and his colleagues were amazing and couldn’t do enough for us. Would not hesitate to recommend this hotel."

La Falconeria Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Another fabulous stay. Our room was ready early, the receptionist helped us find a great restaurant. Room was wonderful. Breakfast was plentiful and well prepared."

Mulberry Suites by The LVH Collection

10/10 Excellent

"We arrived very late in Malta and staff assisted with taxi arrangements and check in procedures. The property was nicely situated in town - close enough to enjoy the activities but not too close. The breakfast was tasty and had a lot of variety. Staff was top notch. Would stay here again."

Melior Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very quiet location in the middle of Valetta. Well appointed room. Helpful staff."

King Charles Boutique

10/10 Excellent

"A lovely room inside the walls of Valletta, unfortunately above a club! The room we were in on the top floor at the back of the hotel was great, but if you were right above it you’d have a very different time."
